lirik lagu rich man poor man – overtime & demun jones
[intro: demun jones]
a lot of folks think if you got a few dollars you got it made
they think that’s all there is (that’s all there is)
they don’t see everything that happened before that
they just see you right now, there’s more to it, a lot more
[chorus: overtime]
they say a rich man (rich man), he ain’t got no problems
he’s got all that he’s wanted, he never has to borrow
but he’ll never see tomorrow if every day’s the same
he works so much he never leaves his office most days
they say a poor man (poor man), he’s got all the problems
everything is borrowed and he’s gotta work tomorrow
but you’ll never see the sorrow or the tears upon his face
he’s always got his family and a dream he’ll always chase
they say a rich man (a rich man) a poor man (a poor man)
together they are one in the same (the same)
we got one full life and we better go live it
like we’re livin like we’re dying today (dying today)
[verse 1: overtime]
i guess they gotta divide us so we get conquered and fall
but we could stand among each other and not bicker at all
imagine that, imagine life without a system that’s against us
designed to make us hate each other more than a resistance
they mask us and they ask us if we’ve finally had enough
we stand up to fight back and they turn the pressure up
an attack on independence if you choose to press your luck
so don’t be wise, believe the lies and you can have another cup
i’m askin why’s there’s upper class and lower class and middle
and why’s a credit score the answer to the social riddle
see rich or poor it ain’t no more different for the sides
we’re all inside this hamster wheel just fightin’ to survive
see i wake up the same as you and you the same as i
so why’s there all this fightin’ for position in the line
we’ll finish all the same when the shovel hits the dirt
’cause one thing god will never ask is: “what the f*ck’s your net worth”
[chorus: overtime]
they say a rich man (rich man), he ain’t got no problems
he’s got all that he’s wanted, he never has to borrow
but he’ll never see tomorrow if every day’s the same
he works so much he never leaves his office most days
they say a poor man (poor man), he’s got all the problems
everything is borrowed and he’s gotta work tomorrow
but you’ll never see the sorrow or the tears upon his face
he’s always got his family and a dream he’ll always chase
they say a rich man (a rich man) a poor man (a poor man)
together they are one in the same (the same)
we got one full life and we better go live it
like we’re livin like we’re dying today (dying today)
[verse 2: demun jones]
it’s been a while since i looked at a price tag i must admit
how far we came from paint chipping off the walls i won’t forget
how i begged, prayed, cried, even grinded until it hurt
so i could never let these shiny things determine my worth
not long ago there was a time that i believed if only
i got my hands on a hundred grand
none of my problems could hold me
but i’ve long since cleared that hurdle, the trophy’s bologna
pull up a chair and let me tell you the story, homie
the very day i left treatment see i went straight to the rooms
i asked for phone numbers and help, ninety days flew by soon
i showed up every day, i was the hardest worker in sight
took months and every cent i made to cover the checks i used to write
i undid all that i could but the stigma remained
i held my head up in disgrace, i marched straight through the pain
came out the other side shiny, brother, please don’t forget
that most rich men are poor men that were just too stubborn to quit
[chorus: overtime]
they say a rich man (a rich man), he ain’t got no problems
he’s got all that he’s wanted, he never has to borrow
but he’ll never see tomorrow if every day’s the same
he works so much he never leaves his office most days
they say a poor man (poor man), he’s got all the problems
everything is borrowed and he’s gotta work tomorrow
but you’ll never see the sorrow or the tears upon his face
he’s always got his family and a dream he’ll always chase
they say a rich man (a rich man) a poor man (a poor man)
together they are one in the same
